Take a Hike to Fort Point in the Shadow of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge

On Thanksgiving Day in San Francisco, there was a chill in the air but the sun was shining. We decided to earn our turkey supper by taking a long walk. We walked from Pacific Heights to the Palace of Fine Arts.

We then walked along Crissy Field toward Fort Point. There were a ton of people out and about with their dogs on the beach.

We enjoyed the stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a fantastic backdrop for this box kite (hard to see in the picture below. It's toward the far right).

We finally arrived at our destination. Fort Point sits just beneath the Golden Gate Bridge.

We watched a fisherman reel in a surprise...

...a crab!

On the way back, we passed the Palace of Fine Arts once again. I was surprised to see this rather unusual looking bird. I think it's some kind of goose. Better watch out -- people definitely have poultry on their mind on Thanksgiving Day!
